This has to be one the easiest tips I’ve seen in a long time! Common sense say it should work. By adding a little weight to your flapper not only will it close faster, but I’d assume you’ll have a tighter fit on the valve which should also prevent leaks.

It may not be sexy, but this simple little toilet accessory may save a lot of water. The standard toilet tank flapper can form a leaky seal, or simply lower too slowly to stop water flowing into your toilet bowl. One estimate has leaky flappers wasting an estimated 11 million gallons of water a minute in the USA.

The weighted Greenflush valve closes much faster than the traditional flapper. The Greenflush, which is said to install in 30 seconds, is estimated to reduce a typical 2 or 3 gallon flush to 1 gallon. It also works with newer low-flow toilets.

It sells for $19.95 – but hey if it works it will pay for itself very quickly.

The Alternative Consumer – save water with greenflush
